The latest prototype of Manus VR is made from c, which is a hygienic sports fabric that is also known as Spandex. It provides exceptional elasticity, while being more durable than many natural materials.<ref>http://www.roadtovr.com/hands-manus-wireless-vr-gloves-adding-osvr-integration-promising-hints-future-positional-tracking/</ref> | The latest prototype of Manus VR is made from c, which is a hygienic sports fabric that is also known as Spandex.

The sensor module integrates an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer into a single unit, which is fixed on the top part of the glove. Recorded data are transmitted wirelessly using the latest low energy Bluetooth standard. This allows for 5-6 hours of battery life. The built-in battery supports fast charging technology for a quick recharge. | The sensor module integrates an [[accelerometer]], [[gyroscope]], and [[magnetometer]] into a single unit, which is fixed on the top part of the glove.

Manus VR has been demonstrated with a game called Surgeon Simulator. In this game, players perform a surgery on an alien in a virtual environment. The glove accurately captured player's movement, but the game clearly didn't support movement of individual fingers.<ref>http://www.coolwearable.com/manus-vr-surgeon-simulator/</ref> | Manus VR has been demonstrated with a game called [[Surgeon Simulator]].
